<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">We are working on a national level research project in India. A building envelope analysis is a part of this project. By doing analysis, we have found a vague results in trend (linearly downward) of reduction
in energy consumption with reducing wall U-value in eQUEST.<br>
<br>
Theoretically, the energy consumption should approach to stagnant with reduction in wall U-value.<o:p></o:p></p>
